LIGHT HOUSE INVESTIGATION.
PARIS, April 15.-The Government
has ordered an inquiry into the man
agement of the Cape ALLY light house,
with a view to ascertainiDg if it is true,
as alleged, that the fog horn was only
sounded after the Victoria had struck
the rock on last Wednesday.
STRUCK A ROCK.
LONDON. April 14.-Further particu-
lars of the loss near Dieppe of the New
Haven and Dieppe packet Victoria
show that the vessel struck on rocks
amidships and the passengers immedi-
ately rushed to the stern which, though
downward, the bow was buoyed up by
deep water on that side of the rocks.
4 terrible scene ensued while endeay-
ors were being made TO float the life
boats, which were seriously inteFfered
with by a strong swell of the sea.
Two ladies jumped from the deck
into boat after it. reached the water
and overturned it. Other boats were
then safely launched and succeeded in
reaching Fecamp, reScuing on the way
with a boat-hoek two persons who had
been swept out to sea. Mrs. Bran
stoker was saved. The Paris Figaro
says the the terrific responsibility rests
upon the keepers of the Cape ALLY
light house, who only sounded the fog
horn after hearing the crash made by
the steamer as she struck the rocks.
The captain of the Victoria maintained
great GOODNESS and guaranteed the safe
ty of all on board if they would but
obey his orders.

The sketch OF Columbus by Gen. J. G.. Wilson,
one Of the editors OF these volumes, Is psrtic-
uIarly satisfactory from tho demonstration af-
forded Of the authors familiarity with the lat
est investigation and ripest opinion touching
many controverted points In the life OF the ex-
plorer. Thus he Ia inclined to accept the con-
clusion that the discoverer's first landing
place after crossing the Atlantic was not Cat
Island. formerly assumed to be San Salvador.
but Watlings Island. also member OF the
Bahama group. AS to the claim OF Corsica to
be the birthplace Of Columbus, this is discard
cd In favor OF Genoa by Gen. Wilson, who here
In has, no doubt. the weiGhtiest authorities on
his side. Whether he Is right in deciding that
the remains OF Columbus are really buried In
Havana IL. Notwithstanding the quoted belief
OF tho Duke Of Veragua, a descendant
OF tho navigator, more questionable. The
reasons for thinking that IL was the
bones OF Admiral Don Diego Columbus, and not
those OF his father, that were transferred from
Santo Domingo to Havana were very coGently
set forth In book published some years ago
by Spanish student OF the subject, and we
have never seen them conclusively refuted.

OF discoverers Is defined and justified by the

Since the National Drill the craze for things mil

and the cry, an 4, buy me a gun" IL hourly sent
up from the threats OF scores OF youngsters who
aspire TO military renOwn. The northwest part of
the city seems particularly affected, and all day
long the youth who are not languish1ng In school
spend their time In marching up and down the
streets mimicking the evolutions and movements
OF the "drill teams" They are rugged out in all
sorts OF uniforms Some have nothing in military
style but cap made OF newspapers, with a lath
for q gun; while others are well equipped as
miniature militiamen. with wooden guns
tin swords and uniforms OF some cheap material
ornamented with red tape and bright buttons.
Their movements are often amusing. and attract
many spectators. But among the youthful Won
Moltkes and Grants the color line is not drawn TO
the tension that t was while the National Drill
in progress and ii is quite common sight to see
sturdy youth OF color" marching at the head Of q
column OF white lads bawling forth his orders to

soldiers are Wen drilled but seem to have been
picked up for the occasion, and natural conse-
Quence sometimes there is great confusion In the
ranks and a state of mind among the file border

quite proficient in the various movements and
execute them with skill worthy Of emulation by
much older soldiers,
